Summary

Description

<a href="http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/948" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Hoi An Ancient town</a> is located in Viet Nam’s central Quang Nam Province, on the north bank near the mouth of the Thu Bon River.

It is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a small-scale trading port active the 15th to 19th centuries which traded widely, both with the countries of Southeast and East Asia and with the rest of the world. Its decline in the later 19th century ensured that it has retained its traditional urban tissue to a remarkable degree.

The town reflects a fusion of indigenous and foreign cultures (principally Chinese and Japanese with later European influences) that combined to produce this unique survival.

With an estimated 94.6 million inhabitants as of 2016, it is the world's 14th-most-populous country, and the ninth-most-populous Asian country.

<a href="https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Vietnam" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Vietnam</a> is bordered by China to the north, Laos to the northwest, Cambodia to the southwest, Thailand across the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest, and the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia across the South China Sea to the east and southeast. Its capital city has been Hanoi since the reunification of North and South <a href="https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Vietnam" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Vietnam</a> in 1976, with Ho Chi Minh City as a historical city as well.
